![]() "Harry Krause" wrote in message news:bqveo1 The flow began from the GOP. Let's keep that in mind. Simply untrue, Harry, but you already know that. Your posts are part of the process, which simply evolved in a country with less and less sense of ethical propriety. I recall numerous examples from '00 when the Boston Globe would head up "news" articles from the campaign trail in a particular way. When Al was stumping for votes, it would be "...Gore confers with _____ group". In the same type of article about W, the head would read "...Bush targets _____ group". Just that simple shift of words makes Al the nice guy, and George the bully. Slanted coverage. There were also seemingly unlimited ads from a variety of labor groups claiming that Reps would cut school lunches, or cut medicare, when in fact what was at issue was not a cut at all, but a 2 or 3 percent reduction in the rate of growth! But what gets heard? Your kids will starve, and your old parents will be left to die in the gutter. Literally - I recall an ad that characterized Calcutta as the future for US if a Republican were elected. And -- part of the dissembling is the revisionism that goes on during and after the fact. Example: remember the whole Willie Horton thing used against Dukakis in '88? Press and pundits loved to excoriate Bush41 over that, race card, negative campaigning, blah, blah,..... In fact it was none other than our old pal Al Gore who brought Willie Horton out of the box during the Dem primaries that year, but there were very few voices raised in righteous indignation at that time. Why is that? ***** Now, as a special treat, I'll save you the effort of replying by entering now your standard retort:****** "...another Republitrash puppet..." |

The flow began from the GOP. Let's keep that in mind.
Simply untrue, Harry, but you already know that. Puh-leeze. We'd need to go back a couple of hundred years to figure out who "started it." Shame on you *and* Harry for insisting it was the other side. Like the Hatfields and McCoys, after a generation nobody even remembers who started it. No person can honestly and accurately say the other side started it. The conservatives have institutionalized it, however, with hate radio. |

My apologies, Chuck et al. I *do* agree with your point above. In the original draft of my reply to Harry, there was a sentence referencing to the "slime alley" as a two-way street. In editing it got cut, and I failed to notice. Mea Culpa. The conservatives have institutionalized it, however, with hate radio. But let's not intentionally *******ize the language or the process with loaded buzzwords like "hate radio". There's no hate, it is just conservative talk radio. Most true conservatives are embarrassed by some of the pompous rantings that go on, just as honorable Democrats are often embarrassed by some of the drivel that occasionally spews from the far left. Words have to mean something, or the whole process is pointless. If we use words as triggers or weapons, credibility suffers. |

How is the hate you spew in this group and different than the hate on some
